If you haven't already, I recommend signing up for their weekly email alerts. Lots of good info for seniors. This morning I received one with the following tips:

Thank you for each person that sent links. Even though I didn't post the question I look forward to going through the information. There should be classes to teach us that things definitely change as we age. We need to prepare when we are young for what we are going to possibly experience and to prepare in the best possible way. Each of you are appreciated. Have a blessed day.
